2014 Nissan Rogue

Now looking like a small Pathfinder.
Which might not be good news for the Pathfinder. Since the Rogue is now larger and offers a 3rd row seat as an option.

Plus, the Pathfinder, with its sea of hard plastics inside, is hardly upscale. This couldn't be much worse.
Just a bit smaller and a lot cheaper.
And the new Rogue also offers a panoramic roof option, not available in the Pathfinder.

The powertrain is the same as before, and similar to the Altima. A 2.5 Liter with CVT.
It isn't horrible, but far from great. It was mostly quiet in the Altima I tested a few months ago. But still felt weird at times.

No matter what, they will sell tons of these.
It looks much better than before, is roomier, can seat 7, and is rated at 26/33MPG.

The concepts suggested this was going to be an angular, sporty, aggressive, interesting looking vehicle. But instead, they homogenized it into nondescript mush. The pseudo-aggressive face contrasted against that fat ass is a joke. My God, how far Nissan designs have fallen...
